Description

L'invention est relative à un conditionnement pour produits visqueux. Elle trouvera par exemple son application dans l'industrie alimentaire pour réaliser des emballages de sauces, mayonnaise, crème ou autre destinés à la restauration, collectivités, ou cuisines industrielles.The invention relates to packaging for viscous products. It will find, for example, its application in the food industry to produce packaging for sauces, mayonnaise, cream or other intended for catering, communities, or industrial kitchens.

Bien que l'invention ait été tout spécialement développée pour la commercialisation de produits alimentaires, elle pourra parfaitement s'adapter à d'autres matières qui présentent une nature pâteuse, c'est-à-dire dont l'écoulement ne se réalise pas naturellement à travers un orifice de petite dimension.Although the invention has been specially developed for the marketing of food products, it will be able to adapt perfectly to other materials which have a pasty nature, that is to say of which the flow does not occur naturally through a small hole.

Pour suivre l'exemple de la mayonnaise, qui actuellement fait l'objet de fabrications industrielles courantes, son conditionnement, se fait soit en tubes ou en pots. Pour les applications domestiques, le tube de petite capacité est préféré. Le tube est avantageux car son orifice de sortie peut être profilé afin que le filet de mayonnaise sortant du tube forme un filet décoratif. De la sorte, le tube peut directement être utilisé pour créer des ornements et garnir un plat.To follow the example of mayonnaise, which is currently the subject of current industrial manufacturing, its packaging is done either in tubes or in pots. For domestic applications, the small capacity tube is preferred. The tube is advantageous because its outlet orifice can be profiled so that the mayonnaise thread leaving the tube forms a decorative thread. In this way, the tube can be directly used to create ornaments and garnish a dish.

L'utilisation de la garniture à titre décoratif se rencontre également avec la crème fraiche dont la structure se prête bien pour être mise en forme. Dans ce cas, la crème fraiche de fabrication industrielle est commercialisée sous forme de bombe aérosol dont le bec est profilé pour garnir directement les desserts.The use of the garnish for decorative purposes is also encountered with the crème fraiche whose structure lends itself well to being shaped. In this case, the fresh cream of industrial manufacture is marketed in the form of an aerosol can, the spout of which is shaped to directly garnish the desserts.

Ces conditionnements sont bien adaptés pour des usages domestiques, par contre, lorsqu'il s'agit de restauration, de cuisines collectives, les quantités mises en jeu sont trop importantes pour être compatibles avec l'emploi de tubes. Aussi, les produits sont conditionnés dans des pots métalliques ou de verre. La refermeture du conditionnement n'est pas indispensable car, par définition, dans des applications professionnelles, la consommation est permanente et le pot est très rapidement vidé.These packaging are well suited for domestic use, however, when it comes to catering, collective kitchens, the quantities involved are too large to be compatible with the use of tubes. Also, the products are packaged in metal or glass jars. Reclosing the packaging is not essential because, by definition, in professional applications, consumption is permanent and the jar is emptied very quickly.

L'inconvénient majeur de ce type de récipient est qu'il ne permet pas d'obtenir directement un filet décoratif en sortie. Alors, le cuisinier doit avoir recours à un ustensile spécifique pour former des filets décoratifs de garniture des plats dans lequel le produit alimentaire droit être transvasé.The major drawback of this type of container is that it does not allow a decorative net to be obtained directly at the outlet. Then, the cook must have recourse to a specific utensil to form decorative fillings of garnish of the dishes in which the right food product is to be transferred.

A ce sujet, on connait la poche à douille qui est formée d'un tronc de cône en tissu souple au sommet duquel on place une douille métallique. Le produit est disposé dans la poche et par pression avec les mains sur celle-ci, on injecte généralement le produit à travers la douille et on forme un filet décoratif en sortie pour orner des plats.On this subject, we know the piping bag which is formed of a trunk of cone in flexible fabric at the top of which we place a metal socket. The product is placed in the pocket and by pressure with the hands on it, the product is generally injected through the socket and a decorative net is formed at the outlet to decorate dishes.

L'inconvénient de cet ustensile est qu'il faut, tout d'abord le remplir de produit, et qu'après usage, il faut le nettoyer. Par ailleurs, l'extrémité supérieure de la poche est ouverte et il faut une bonne dextérité pour parvenir à éviter les fuites par remontée de la crème.The disadvantage of this utensil is that it must first be filled with product, and that after use, it must be cleaned. In addition, the upper end of the pocket is open and good dexterity is required to avoid leakage by raising the cream.

On connait un autre ustensible qui est par exemple utilisé pour former des filets décoratifs de mayonnaise, et qui se présente sous la forme d'une grosse seringue apte à être garnie de produit. Par action sur un piston, on forme en sortie à travers un orifice profilé un filet décoratif.Another ustensible is known which is for example used to form decorative fillets of mayonnaise, and which is in the form of a large syringe capable of being filled with product. By action on a piston, a decorative thread is formed at the outlet through a profiled orifice.

L'inconvénient de cet ustensible est sa faible capacité, il doit par conséquent être fréquemment rechargé, en outre, après usage, il faut le nettoyer.The disadvantage of this ustensible is its low capacity, it must therefore be frequently recharged, in addition, after use, it must be cleaned.

Le but principal de la présente invention est de présenter un conditionnement pour produits visqueux qui permette d'obtenir directement un fin filet décoratif. Pour être compatible avec des applications industrielles, le conditionnement de la présente invention dispose d'une capacité modulable à la demande importante, telle que par exemple 1 à 4 litres.The main object of the present invention is to present a packaging for viscous products which allows a fine decorative net to be obtained directly. To be compatible with industrial applications, the packaging of the present invention has a capacity that can be adjusted to high demand, such as for example 1 to 4 liters.

Avant usage, le conditionnement de la présente invention est étanche et donc il peut servir pour des applications alimentaires voire même de conservation.Before use, the packaging of the present invention is waterproof and therefore it can be used for food applications or even for conservation.

De par sa conception économique, le conditionnement de la présente invention est jetable après usage et rivalise avec les conditionnements traditionnels en pots.Due to its economic design, the packaging of the present invention is disposable after use and rivals traditional packaging in pots.

Par ailleurs, le conditionnement de l'invention est très commode puisqu'il est prêt à l'emploi, ne nécessite aucun rechargement et l'étanchéité est directement assurée.Furthermore, the packaging of the invention is very convenient since it is ready for use, does not require any recharging and the seal is directly ensured.

D'autres buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaitront au cours de la description qui va suivre qui n'est cependant donnée qu'à titre indicatif et qui n'a pas pour but de la limiter.Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear during the description which follows which is however given only for information and which is not intended to limit it.

Selon l'invention, le conditionnement pour produit visqueux, qui trouvera notamment son application en matière de cuisines industrielles pour produits alimentaires, tels que mayonnaise, crème, sauces ou autres, destinés à être utilisés en filet décoratif, le dit conditionnement comprenant une poche étanche souple de rétention du produit visqueux, une douille destinée à l'écoulement et à la mise en forme du filet, caractérisé par le fait que la poche renferme la douille qui comporte des moyens de maintien en place à proximité de la zone à ouvrir de la poche.According to the invention, the packaging for viscous product, which will find its application in particular in terms of industrial kitchens for food products, such as mayonnaise, cream, sauces or others, intended to be used as a decorative net, the said packaging comprising a flexible watertight pocket for retaining the viscous product, a sleeve intended for the flow and placing in shape of the net, characterized in that the pocket contains the socket which comprises means for holding in place near the zone to be opened of the pocket.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description suivante accompagnée de dessins en annexe parmi lesquels:

  • - la figure 1 schématise l'emploi du conditionnement pour produit visqueux selon la présente invention,
  • - la figure 2 représente, en vue de coupe, un mode préférentiel de réalisation du conditionnement pour produit visqueux selon la présente invention,
  • - la figure 3 illustre la douille d'écoulement et de mise en forme du produit,
  • - la figure 4 montre les moyens de maintien en place de la douille de la figure 3.
The invention will be better understood on reading the following description accompanied by attached drawings, among which:
  • FIG. 1 shows diagrammatically the use of the packaging for viscous product according to the present invention,
  • FIG. 2 represents, in section view, a preferred embodiment of the packaging for viscous product according to the present invention,
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the flow and shaping sleeve of the product,
  • FIG. 4 shows the means for holding the bush of FIG. 3 in place.

La présente invention vise un conditionnement pour produit visqueux. Elle trouvera notamment son application en matière de cuisine industrielle pour l'emballage de produits alimentaires tels que mayonnaise, crème ou sauces.The present invention relates to packaging for viscous products. It will especially find its application in industrial cooking for the packaging of food products such as mayonnaise, cream or sauces.

Lorsque la consistance de la sauce ou de la crème le permet, on la dispose en un filet décoratif pour agrémenter la présentation de certains plats. Les exemples typiques sont la mayonnaise et la crème fraiche dont la nature visqueuse se prête parfaitement à cette mise en forme.When the consistency of the sauce or cream allows, it is placed in a decorative net to enhance the presentation of certain dishes. Typical examples are mayonnaise and crème fraiche whose viscous nature lends itself perfectly to this shaping.

Les ustensiles de décoration connus ne sont pas adaptés au conditionnement industriel du produit, la poche à douille est ouverte et la seringue trop coûteuse et dispose d'un volume trop réduit. Par conséquent, des manipulations préliminaires du produit doivent être effectuées pour charger ces ustensiles qui ne sont guère commodes. La présente invention se propose précisément d'apporter une solution à ce problème.Known decoration utensils are not suitable for industrial packaging of the product, the piping bag is open and the syringe too expensive and has too small a volume. Consequently, preliminary manipulations of the product must be carried out to load these utensils which are not very convenient. The present invention specifically proposes to provide a solution to this problem.

La figure 1 schématise l'utilisation très commode du conditionnement pour produit visqueux de la présente invention. Le conditionnement 1 est formé d'une poche 2 dans laquelle le produit 3 est disposé. Il s'agit d'une poche étanche et souple dont la contenance peut aller jusqu'à 4 litres. Cette capacité est tout à fait adaptée aux besoins des cuisines de restauration collective. En outre, la poche étant étanche, il n'y a aucun risque de débordement ou de fuite comme cela se rencontre avec les poches à douille traditionnelles.Figure 1 shows schematically the very convenient use of the packaging for viscous product of the present invention. The packaging 1 is formed by a pocket 2 in which the product 3 is placed. It is a waterproof and flexible pocket whose capacity can go up to 4 liters. This capacity is perfectly suited to the needs of collective catering kitchens. In addition, the pocket being waterproof, there is no risk of overflow or leakage as is encountered with traditional pastry bags.

Le conditionnement 1 comprend également une douille 4 par laquelle le produit 3 est expulsé sous la forme d'un filet 5 décoratif. Pour cela, la douille présente un orifice profilé de forme quelconque. Les dimensions de l'orifice seront toutefois adaptées aux caractéristiques du produit à distribuer, ainsi, par exemple, l'orifice pour de la crème fraiche doit être de plus grande dimension que pour de la mayonnaise. Il s'agit cependant de variables qui sont connus de l'Homme de l'Art et qui dépendent également de l'effet décoratif recherché.The packaging 1 also includes a sleeve 4 through which the product 3 is expelled in the form of a decorative net 5. For this, the socket has a shaped orifice of any shape. The dimensions of the orifice will however be adapted to the characteristics of the product to be dispensed, so, for example, the orifice for fresh cream must be larger than for mayonnaise. However, these are variables which are known to those skilled in the art and which also depend on the decorative effect sought.

La poche 2 est confectionnée dans un matériau souple tel qu'un film de polyéthylène ou polypropylène, et pourra donc très facilement être comprimée par une pression manuelle. Cette pression provoque l'écoulement du produit 3 à travers la douille 4. La paroi de la poche 2 sera, de préférence, plus fine que celle d'un tube ce qui facilite l'exercice d'une pression sur la poche.The bag 2 is made of a flexible material such as a polyethylene or polypropylene film, and can therefore very easily be compressed by manual pressure. This pressure causes the product 3 to flow through the sleeve 4. The wall of the bag 2 will preferably be thinner than that of a tube, which makes it easier to exert pressure on the bag.

Les dimensions de la poche 2 devront être telles qu'il ne se produise pas d'écoulement accidentel du produit 3 à travers la douille 4 en l'absence de pression volontaire sur la poche 2.The dimensions of the bag 2 must be such that there is no accidental flow of the product 3 through the sleeve 4 in the absence of voluntary pressure on the bag 2.

La figure 2 illustre un mode préférentiel de réalisation du conditionnement 1 de la présente invention en vue en coupe. La poche 2 confectionnée dans un film étanche et souple, est à l'origine entièrement fermée, pour retenir le produit visqueux 3 placé à l'intérieur. On pourra notamment utiliser tout film soudable simple ou complexe possédant les caractéristiques techniques assurant la conservation du produit conditionné tel que par exemple une poche en film de polyéthylène soudé par ultra-sons, haute fréquence ou similaire.FIG. 2 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the packaging 1 of the present invention in cross-section. The bag 2 made from a waterproof and flexible film is originally completely closed, to retain the viscous product 3 placed inside. We can in particular use any simple or complex weldable film having the technical characteristics ensuring the preservation of the packaged product such as for example a polyethylene film bag welded by ultrasound, high frequency or the like.

La poche étant étanche et complètement fermée, les risques de contamination ou d'oxydation du produit sont écartés et la conservation est durable.As the bag is waterproof and completely closed, the risks of contamination or oxidation of the product are eliminated and the preservation is durable.

En outre, la poche 2 renferme une douille 4 qui possède un orifice 6 de sortie profilé. Ainsi, tout écoulement du produit 3 à travers la douille 4 formera un filet décoratif.In addition, the pocket 2 contains a socket 4 which has a profiled outlet orifice 6. Thus, any flow of the product 3 through the sleeve 4 will form a decorative thread.

Selon une caractéristique de la présente invention, la douille 4, placée à l'intérieur de la poche 2, comporte des moyens 7 de maintien en place à proximité de la zone 8 à ouvrir de la poche 2. Par conséquent, bien que la douille 4 soit simplement placée à l'intérieur de la poche 2 lors du conditionnement du produit 3, la douille 4 ne peut pas se balader à l'intérieur de la poche 2, même avant l'ouverture de cette dernière.According to a characteristic of the present invention, the socket 4, placed inside the pocket 2, comprises means 7 for holding in place near the zone 8 to be opened of the pocket 2. Consequently, although the socket 4 is simply placed inside the pocket 2 during the packaging of the product 3, the socket 4 cannot wander inside the pocket 2, even before the latter is opened.

Lorsque l'on veut utiliser le produit 3 sous forme de filet décoratif, il suffit de couper la poche 2 au niveau de la zone de coupe 8, repérée par exemple par pointillés sur la poche, de telle sorte que le produit 3 puisse s'écouler à l'extérieur de la poche 2 à travers la douille 4. Il s'agit du seul circuit de sortie pour le produit 3 qui, par conséquent, sera profilé au niveau de l'orifice 6 de sortie de la douille 4. Les dimensions de l'orifice 6 étant appropriées, l'écoulement du produit visqueux 3 sera déterminé par la pression exercée par l'opérateur sur la poche 2.When it is desired to use the product 3 in the form of a decorative net, it suffices to cut the pocket 2 at the cutting zone 8, marked for example by dotted lines on the pocket, so that the product 3 can flow outside the pocket 2 through the socket 4. This is the only outlet circuit for the product 3 which, therefore, will be profiled at the outlet port 6 of the socket 4. The dimensions of the orifice 6 being suitable, the flow of the viscous product 3 will be determined by the pressure exerted by the operator on the bag 2.

De préférence, la poche 2 est de profil cônique, ou tout au moins de forme cônique au niveau de l'orifice de sortie. La douille est située à l'extrémité du cône.Preferably, the pocket 2 is of conical profile, or at least of conical shape at the outlet orifice. The socket is located at the end of the cone.

Les moyens de maintien en place de la douille 4 et ses dimensions dans la poche 2 au niveau de l'orifice de sortie assurent également l'étanchéité entre la poche 2 et la douille 4. Il est impératif que le produit sortant de la poche filtre à travers la douille 4 et ne puisse contourner celle-ci.The means for holding the sleeve 4 in place and its dimensions in the bag 2 at the outlet orifice also ensure the seal between the bag 2 and the sleeve 4. It is imperative that the product leaving the filter bag through the socket 4 and cannot bypass the latter.

On peut envisager à titre de moyen de maintien, l'utilisation d'une soudure à la périphérie de la douille pour fixer celle-ci sur la paroi de la poche 2. A cet égard, le matériau de la douille et la nature du film interne de la poche sont compatibles pour soudures aux ultra-sons, à haute fréquence, à la chaleur.One can consider as a means of support, the use of a weld at the periphery of the sleeve to fix the latter on the wall of the bag 2. In this respect, the material of the sleeve and the nature of the film internal of the pocket are compatible for ultrasonic, high frequency, heat welds.

Selon une autre réalisation, les moyens de maintien 7 de la douille 4 dans la poche 2 sont extérieurs à la poche 2. Cette mise en oeuvre facilite la mise en place des moyens extérieurs. Par exemple, ces moyens de maintien 7 se présentent sous la forme d'une collerette 9 torique élastique qui coopère avec une gorge 10 réalisée sur le pourtour de la douille 4 tel que cela est illustré aux figures 3 et 4.According to another embodiment, the means 7 for holding the sleeve 4 in the bag 2 are external to the bag 2. This implementation facilitates the installation of the external means. For example, these holding means 7 are in the form of a resilient O-ring flange 9 which cooperates with a groove 10 produced on the periphery of the socket 4 as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.

Ainsi, il suffit de placer la douille 4 dans le fond cônique de la poche 2 puis d'enfiler la collerette torique 9 autour de l'extrémité de la poche 2 jusqu'à ce que celle-ci vienne se loger dans la gorge 10. La douille 4 est alors immobilisée par rapport à la poche 2. Celle-ci pourra être remplie de produit 3 puis on procèdera à la fermeture étanche de la poche 2 notamment par soudage du film plastique qui a servi à sa confection.Thus, it suffices to place the socket 4 in the conical bottom of the pocket 2 and then to thread the O-ring collar 9 around from the end of the bag 2 until it comes to lodge in the groove 10. The sleeve 4 is then immobilized relative to the bag 2. The latter can be filled with product 3 and then we will proceed to the watertight closure of the bag 2, in particular by welding the plastic film which was used to make it.

L'utilisateur doit seulement sectionner la zone 8 extrême de la poche 2 pour l'ouvrir et la rendre ainsi prête à l'emploi.The user only has to section the extreme zone 8 of the bag 2 to open it and thus make it ready for use.

Pour faciliter l'ouverture de la poche 2 dans la zone de coupe 8, la poche 2 déborde légèrement à l'extrémité de la douille 4 telle qu'illustrée à la figure 2 afin que la poche 2 puisse être coupée à ce niveau à l'aide d'une paire de ciseaux.To facilitate opening of the pocket 2 in the cutting zone 8, the pocket 2 projects slightly at the end of the socket 4 as illustrated in FIG. 2 so that the pocket 2 can be cut at this level at using a pair of scissors.

On pourra également envisager de prévoir une deuxième gorge, non représentée sur les dessins, dans la douille 4, au-dessus de l'orifice 6, sensiblement parallèle à la première gorge 10, afin de permettre la découpe de la douille à cet endroit au moyen de tout objet tranchant.It is also possible to envisage providing a second groove, not shown in the drawings, in the bush 4, above the orifice 6, substantially parallel to the first groove 10, in order to allow the bush to be cut at this location at any sharp object.

Etant donné que le conditionnement de l'invention a été développé dans le cadre d'une utilisation professionnelle, aucun moyen de fermeture de la poche 2 n'a pas été proposé, toutefois, si une telle exigence était requise, on pourrait parfaitement utiliser un bouchon ou tout autre moyen d'obturation qui serait placé au niveau de l'orifice 6 de la douille 4.Since the packaging of the invention has been developed for professional use, no means of closing the bag 2 has not been proposed, however, if such a requirement was required, one could perfectly use a plug or any other sealing means which would be placed at the level of the orifice 6 of the socket 4.

D'autres mises en oeuvre de la présente invention, auraient également pû être envisagées sans pour autant sortir du cadre de celle-ci.Other implementations of the present invention could also have been envisaged without departing from the scope thereof.
